I've seen a car driving along at 10kph with a dog running alongside (the owner 'walking' the dog) before but this was much worse.Conditioning a kid to drive across across the road for a bag of crap instead of preparing a meal.No wonder there's an obesity epidemic.

I was parked up in a small country town today waiting for 1400 to check in to a motel down the road.Nearby was a block of townhouses,and across the road was a Scottish restaurant beginning with 'M'.I spotted a particularly ugly car at the townhouses and pondered why people buy such pieces of crap.Ab...

I had been at the De La Salle school for just a week and was summoned to the Principal's office.Brother Carey told me to hold out my hand and he gave me the strap.'6 of the best' as it was known.My crime ? Returning a library book a day late.Violence just for kicks. I have a special loathing of anyo...

Shaking a teacher's hand? As a Catholic school alumni, of 12 years, the only use of the teacher's hand was usually to beat the *sh*t* out of us with. Or stick one of the hand's fingers in our faces. rgb you have spoken of your disappointment with your experience of your Catholic education before. Y...

Tried that with Manaus and Nauru. The lefties describe both as “hell holes” and are doubling their efforts to get them closed down and accept the storm troopers poor refugees into the bosom of Centrelink heaven.

Think you meant 'Manus' as Manaus is in northern Brazil

Like the tune and the singing in that clip John.

Amateurs.I never go anywhere without my GAU-19 .50 cal Gatling gun.Especially when trying to park at the local shopping centre on Saturdays.Got a nice roof mount for it

Another urban myth busted.I didn't check the science behind the claim.

Yes limeygirl,same same in Islamabad.The 'floating the glycerine off the beer trick'

Finding a place to drink beer in a Muslim country is a always a 'good place'.I was at the Marriott in Islamabad (the one that got blown up by a truck bomb,fortunately a while after I left) and was in the bar downstairs.It was full.At 8pm,they closed the bar and the manager came around with 2 goons d...

"oh there just happened to be a camera crew when the family found the ordinance. bollocks. you were fed a dramatisation"

W8,I was shown the film by the Army.It was a training film depicting a fictional scenario designed to demonstrate the dangers of handling unexploded ordnance.Got it now ?

500N,weren't you told never to touch unexploded ordnance in the Army ? I was only in the cadets and I was made to watch a film about the dangers.Young family go to the woods for a picnic.Little boy finds an unexploded piezo-electric detonated mortar and places it on the car bonnet.It rolls off and b...

Not a candidate,but an honourable mention.This idiot found a couple of hand grenades in a local park.He then picked them up,carried them to his car and drove home.2 weeks later,he took them to the local cop shop.He walked in to reception and put them on the counter.Must be one of the dumbest people ...

Canberra ? Did you mean Parramatta (Sydney) ?

Report saying that the satellite is now in a stable orbit,the tumbling has been overcome and that it hasn't transmitted any data. http://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-northkorea-satellite-idUKKCN0VJ04O It's about to do a pass over the USA from south to north at an altitude of 296 miles ( at 0334 UTC )

While we don't know what the real intention of the latest rocket launch was,there's informed opinion that NK have a long way to go towards the development of a true ICBM,one that can re-enter the atmosphere and accurately target a city thousands of miles away.Some interesting assessments in this art...

Holding a handgun in public ( replica or not) and he doesn't get shot by police.I wonder if the kid will ever realise it was his lucky day ?

Ok.But the actual launch weight is known only to North Koreans.Media reports can sometimes be inaccurate,no ?

Yes,they were.All I'm saying is that if it weighed 220kg at launch (how do you know that ?),that after subtracting the weight required for the support systems,there isn't a lot left for a payload.No-one, apart from the North Koreans themselves,knows anything for certain about about the specs of KMS-...

Not really John.Once you take into account the fuel load,bus structure and solar panels,there's not much left. Most telecommunications satellites are in the order of 4-5,000 kgs.The recently launched Sky Muster internet satellite for Australia weighed 6,440 kgs at launch. Even if the NK satellite di...
